Guys, maybe it's just me, but it appears as though your logo is just a red "X", and not a real image...

Togas · November 22, 2002, 01:30

We're still waiting for Mark to hook up our logo. Until then, our logo is a gif error box.

--Togas

Zero · November 22, 2002, 23:54

Why dont u guys keep the red X.. be a rebel and do something out of the norm!

ThePlagueRat · November 24, 2002, 09:56

Hi, I'm not getting in anymore... What's the problem?

mrmitchell · November 24, 2002, 23:09

Plague: me too for a while this morning but I just went somewhere else and now I can get back on the private forums. Maybe Togas accidentally un-authorized all of us

And we've (obviously) got the logo up now...good work Mark

ThePlagueRat · November 25, 2002, 09:41

Imho, the white logo background should be replaced with crimson.
It would have been a bit cooler with light red eyes too.
Ok, I know white matches blue, but... hmm?
Well, thanks Mark. at least we got one now.

BTW:
The access problem was just a temporary flaw.

History Guy · November 27, 2002, 22:54

Have a question here.

Once we get to make embassies, how do we conduct one? If we are roleplaying, that is. We can't very well establish an embassy thread in another forum, so what do we do?

mrmitchell · November 28, 2002, 11:41

Um. Good Question History Guy.

I'm not Togas, but I guess it would either be PM comms with a thread in each forum for the posting of the talking, or
it would be a thread in the public forum. I dunno, I guess we'd just have to be adult enough to stay out of each other's business.

pikesfan · November 28, 2002, 12:24

The most secure would probably be multiple fora open only to the ambassadors and their bosses. For example: Roleplay-Grandeur of War, Roleplay-Lux Invicta, Grandeur of War-Lux Invicta, etc. It would likely mean over 20 fora though.

ThePlagueRat · November 28, 2002, 17:38

Well pikefan, I guess that's gonna be too complicated.

And It would not neccesarily allow teammates insight into it's own business.

Perhaps using a PM to request a visit, then the other leader opens his forum to the ambassador for a while?
And then the whole people will be able to meet the guy.
Well, it's very unsecure, since the ambassador will be able to
spy in certain team-oriented threads...

Well just using PM would be the best, but these PM's should be allowed to be forwarded to the teammates perhaps...
Some Apolyton rule does not permit that, I think?

Meshelic · November 28, 2002, 18:04

I'm thinking the foreign ministers will have to grab a version of Messenger or ICQ or something, and conduct their communications that way. You can post logs from chats that way to your teammates, and it doesn't bend or break any rules.

mrmitchell · November 28, 2002, 19:16

Oh. Does that break Apo rules? The PM thing?

If it does, then I didn't say that.

that's okay mrmitchell I don't think anyone heard....

Sharing a PM with a 3rd party is technically against the rules, but only if you share without their permission. That's why PM's are 'private' messages and not 'public' messages. I hope we can find ways around this problem, although if all the foreign ministers agree beforehand and give permission for their PM's to be shown to be shown to the two teams, then it's ok.

We've thought of seperate forums for diplomacy, PM's, emails, etc. Hopefully we can hammer out this issue in some way. I'm hoping that the ministers involved can just use ICQ or msn messenger. This would solve the issue I believe.

mrmitchell · November 28, 2002, 21:00

Reposted PMs are okay, here's how we can figure out a permission:
EDIT: Reposted PMs are okay WITH ME! WITH ME! **** hand slipped on clicker! They might not be okay with anyone else but they are with me.

EDIT: I mean, reposted PMs that are purposed for embassies. I hope that's all the clarifications I need to make

-DG-wide poll (every citizen)
-Beginning of PMs to be repeated sez "For Embassy Use" or something better than that signifying that they are "To Be Reposted" or something.

Quick question for the RPers:

How many characters have died so far?

I'm afraid we can't answer that qu... *ahem*

* Supreme Leader, Togas walks by

You'll have to ask His Grace, Supreme Leader Togas for the the official death count. As far as I'm concerned, the rumours about numerous 'unofficial' deaths are unfounded wild speculation.

Out of mere curiosity, is this a preliminary market study before techresearching the coffin ?

Borc · November 29, 2002, 13:28

yeah! as you can see i am still a bit confused... sorry for this... but at least i now know the foreign minister of gathering storm

ThePlagueRat · November 29, 2002, 19:12

Meshelic just seem to love creating roles and make play.

So do we... Perhaps this is the team where he should have been, but destiny has brought him elsewhere?

I had sought membership in the Roleplay Team when the teams just started forming, but I guess my application got lost in the mail.

That's okay I forgive you guys.

And now I am one of the Gathering Storm. Perhaps I was one of your people in the early days, but the gods snatched me away in my infancy and delivered me to the chosen people, the GS.

And yes I love roleplaying. It's the cornerstone for me of the democracy games. Without it, Demo games are somewhat boring.

I'm the only person on my team who likes to role play anyways (as far as I know), so it seemed only natural that I serve as ambassador to your nation. I appreciate the warm welcome here, and look forward to our continued communications.

Panzer32 · November 29, 2002, 23:49

For the GoW, I would like to announce that I am consul of Foreign Affairs responsible for relations with the Roleplay Team

[roleplay]
Time to build an embassy; do you have any prime waterfront property in your future capitol? I think I will camp out there waiting for the rest of you to come along and build your capitol around my luxurious embassy. Also there is a helicopter pad on the top of the embassy in case you roleplayers try to roleplay me out of existance. Unfortunatly, the pad is virtuall useless until the late industrial age, so I'm hoping for a nice long good relationship to develop between our two peoples.
[/roleplay]

I think I am getting the hang of this roleplay thing already

[Panzer sits in his big luxurious chair thinking of all the good times to come]

If your team needs to contact my team, contact me first. If I don't answer, contact Unorthodox. He is Consul of Foreign affairs responsible for relations with 3 other teams.

ThePlagueRat · November 30, 2002, 00:00

Olà Señor, you should perhaps talk to El dictatõre.

Señor Togas his name is, and he's in charge of everything here.
I'll bet two bottles of fine liquor that is eager to hear from you.

Anyway, I'll pop by your embassy with my homemade cerveza from time to time.

I'd like to hear stories of your great wars and such...

I am asking just for the sake of knowing what I missed out on. Señor Togas and myself were in discussions about forming a team together before the CivIII-PTW DG forum was put up. As any of you know me from the SPDG, you know that I enjoy RP and I would love to have updates from your forum, as long as it doesn't reveal any info. And I didn't think that knowing how many "accidents" there have been in your tribe while wondering the world mindlessly would be any strategic info. Just give me an estimate if possible please. (the RP team sounds like so much fun!)

[RP] Luxury? Sorry, only our beloved and glorious leader Togas is allowed luxury. The rest of us have to work for a living. However, as an ambassador, you have no limit in how much Spam Brand Squid and Squid Juice you can order for your ambassadorial self and staff. [/RP]

Meshelic · November 30, 2002, 02:44

RP

To his grace, Dictator Togas. I request a small plot of land where I may set up camp for myself and my tired men. We have traveled far, from the lands of the Glory of War and seek shelter and food. Perhaps on that hill over there overlooking your palace?

I ask for nothing more but your good grace, and perhaps an appointment in the near future so we may discuss many great things.

end RP
